Just a Line

“I can’t draw,” you say.
Drawing is just lines.
Line up your lines
until they look like
what you see
in your mind.

 “I can’t write,” you say.
Writing is just lines.
Line up your words
until they say
what your thoughts
have in mind.

“I can’t dance,” you say.
Dancing is just lines.
Lines of movement
drawn with your body
until they portray
what you feel
in your soul.

“I can’t” is just a line
we tell ourselves
when we’re afraid.

“Ornate” 1880s Style

When I saw that this week’s Daily Post photo challenge was on the theme “ornate,” the first thing that came to mind was the Captain George Flavel House in Astoria, OR. Built in 1885, the home is now a museum.

I visited recently and took some photos, but I wish I had taken many more. Good excuse to go back.
